Hi Steve,
Sorry for the late replay. to answer both your questions:
I've never used the 2.5 version so I can't compare but I am extremely happy with the SP90 2.8 (Non DI version). Now they've released a DI (digitally integrated) version which is supposed to perform better with digital SLRs.
I also know someone tho has SP90/2.8 (the non DI version) on a canon eos 10d DSLR and he is happy with the results he's getting. I have no hands on experience with the DI version but I think that Tamron would be very careful about messing about with one of their mainstay products.

Just thought of another question. Do you have the "Di" version of this lens?

Why don't you consider the legendry Tamron SP90
f2.8. True the focal length is a littile bit shorter but its an awseome
lens and a great portrait lens to boot.
Perhaps its only flaw is that it tends to hunt a bit
in AF mode but then Macro lenses tend to be used in MF mode anyway.
Insofar as sharpness is concerened it is as sharp as
they get. I've got one and it has never ever let me down.

Does anyone have extensive knowledge/use of Sigma'sversions,
Macro lenses? I'm thinking of both the EX
as well as their new digital line "DG" series. Although they are both priced the same @ B&H forthe
105mm lens, they would appear to be around $200less
now.than the new Pentax DA 100mm lens that is still to come.
Anyone have any sample photos they would like to share?
Thanks again all!
